Royal Baby Predictions

All anyone was talking about today is that Kate Middleton is in labour – the royal baby (raby for short?) is imminent, almost definitely will be born today.

The press have been camped outside of St. Mary’s in Paddington since Laura’s meeting last Thursday, by now we’ve all seen the Lion King newborn baby photo going around online, so there’s only one thing left to do – put in our predictions for the little one who will immediately be richer than anyone we know, as soon as it enters the world.

You’d think we’d be awesome at this prediction thing seeing as we live in London, so know KM and Wills personally (Sarah was bought a drink by Prince W once, so in our opinion, we’re practically family) – but so far we’ve been pretty awful. Case in point, we were so sure it would be born on Sarah’s birthday, 13th July, that we tried to put a proper bet on it (though was told the odds were too high it would be, so wasn’t allowed to (phew, saved two quid)). Yet over a week later, it’s still not here yet!

But either way, here we go:

Laura’s predictions:

Gender: Girl (because a boy is just too predictable)

Length: 21 inches

Weight: 9 lbs 6 ounces

Name: Sarah – because all the good people are named Sarah, and because the disaster of Sarah Ferguson is far enough out of people’s minds, I think the name deserves a comeback

Sarah’s predictions:

Gender: Girl

Length: 22 inches

Weight: 8 lbs 3 ounces

Name: Alexandria

Put your predictions in the comments, and we’ll see who is closest! (Though the real winner is that adorable little rich baby!)UPDATE: We think we just heard the 41 gun salute - hope we aren't too late!UPDATE 2.0: It may have been thunder, nvm
